Key elements for success: Partnerships with software developer and machinery manufacturers are vital to Leemark Engineering

摘要

The three brothers who run Leemark Engineering in Hayes, Middlesex, say coupling traditional engineering skills - taught to them by their father - with high-tech machinery and software, has kept customers coming back for over 40 years. Having been one of the first companies in the UK to invest in Matsuura machining centres in the 1970s, they have kept the partnership going ever since, and a number of Matsuura three-axis machining centres and two five-axis models currently handle most of their milling. For turning, they mainly use Mori-Seikis; and as part of a recent ￡350,000 investment in new machinery, they now have two CMZ lathes - the latest featuring a C axis, a Y axis and live tooling.
